Chapter 4

After ducking into a bar on the other side of town the one male and six females sat at a table while the other patrons glared at Naruto for being around 'so much hot ass'.

"Before we get to the matter at hand, offer on the table 'Join my crew.'." Naruto said looking at the four bounty hunters.

"And why should we?" Mana asked.

"First of all I recall before I kicked that marine into next week you shot him in the head. Which didn't kill him for some resaon. That makes you and your friends wanted criminals. It'd be better for you to join my crew rather than end up in jail." Naruto said with a smile.

The 4 bounty hunters looked at each other, then back at Naruto, and Mana said "We'll think about it."

Naruto nodded and turned to Nelliel. "Now Nel-chan why is this captain obsessed with killing you. Was he an old boyfriend and you dumped him?"

"I'm afraid not. We came from the same island and he resents me for the fact that I'm stronger than him. He feels that no woman should be above him in strength." Nel said.

'Bastard wouldn't have gotten away with that shit back home. Baa-chan would've knocked his head. Anko-chan would've remove his balls. Hell even Mei-chan would've done horrible things to this guy.' Naruto thought remembering some of the strong woman from the elemental countries.

"As I said we grew up on the same island and we learned the same techniques native to our home in addition to our individual techniques. He always tried to prove his superiority over me but I always best him. I left my home to get away from him." Nel said.

"I'm guessing he went after you. Well I can't have him killing my new crewmate. Best we leave now." Naruto said as he began to stand up.

"But Naruto, Kuina and I still haven't picked up our stuff and there are things I will not leave behind." Nel said with determination.

"Yes and if you want my group to join you then we need to get our stuff as well." Mana said.

Naruto nodded and said "Then while you get your things, I'll deal with 'Captain One Eye.'."

"Nnoitora isn't some punk. He won't let what you did to him earlier pass. He's gonna kill you." Nel said.

"He can try. It's been a long time since I've had to use a significant amount of my power." Naruto said with a devious smile.

The six girls stared at Naruto thinking 'What a scary face.'

An hour later Naruto was on a rooftop looking down at the marines trying to find him and the girls. "This is too easy." he said as he pulled out a scroll. On the scroll were several seals. Naruto bit his thumb and pressed into to one of the seals.

A puff of smoke alerted Nnoitora and his marines that they were being watched. Nnoitora saw the man who had kicked him earlier standing on a roof. Naruto was holding a large broadsword, the blade almost as tall and wide as he was, that resembled a butcher's knife. It had a hole carved into it near the top of the blade and a smaller semi-circle looking like it was meant for an exact purpose down closer to the handle grooved into the blade itself.

"YOU! You interfered with my mission!" Nnoitora shouted.

"Your mission which was to kill Nel-chan just because she's a woman who kicked your ass. God you're a loser and I'll prove it by kicking your ass myself." Naruto said before jumping down to the ground.

"That bitch has no right to be stronger than me." Nnoitora said swinging his axe/scythe over his head. "You think your little butcher knife is a match for Santa Teresa."

Naruto chuckled and said "Kubikiri-bouchou here would eat that fucked up looking spear of yours for breakfast."

Both weapons collided with each other as their wielders tried to overpower the other with brute strength. As Nnoitora put more power into overpowering Naruto, Naruto quickly stopped putting pressure, disengaged his weapon from Nnoitora, and moved away watching as Nnoitora suddenly rush past him and crash into a wall.

'What a dumbass.' Naruto thought as Nnoitora appeared from the hole and charged him with an evil smile on his face. Nnoitora swung his weapon at Naruto who managed to dodge each attack by mere inches infuriating Nnoitora. Naruto was then back up against a house.

Nnoitora smirked and said "Die." as he swung his down just second after Naruto jumped into the air with Kubikiri-Bouchou stretched out in front of him. He then startred spinning himself round and round making himself look like a giant buzzsaw of death coming down on top of Nnoitora.

"Oh no you don't." Nnoitora said as he dodged the attack.

Naruto hit the ground so hard a cloud of dust appeared and covered the area.

As Nnoitora looked around Naruto snuck behind him and said "Hi there."

As Nnoitora turned around Naruto smashed his elbow into Nnoitora's face sending him flying into another building.

Naruto dusted himself as he waited for his opponent to appear. He didn't wait long as Nnoitora reappeared with a scowl on his face before he stuck out his tongue.

A ball of yellow energy appeared on the tongue tip and as Naruto wondered what it was it fired at him.

Just as Naruto was about to move out of the way Nelliel appeared before him and held out her hand.

"Nel, what are you doing?" Naruto asked just before the attack hit and was apparently held back by her hand.

Nel opened her mouth and inhaled the energy ball. After a few seconds she belched out her own ball of energy, this one pink right back at Nnoitora.

"Shit!" Nnoitora yelled just before the attack hit him detroying the building.

Nel turned to Naruto and said "We need to leave now."

Nel grabbed Naruto and suddenly they disappeared just as Nnoitora pulled himself from the rubble and roared in anger when he noticed both of his opponents were gone.

A few minutes both Nel and Naruto appeared on Naruto's ship. "What was that?" Naruto asked.

"More of my island's techniques. I'll explain another time but we must leave. Everyone else is ready to go." Nel said as Naruto turned to see the other 5 girls on the ship as well.

"Where do you girls want to go then? Cause I have no knowledge of this ocean." Naruto said.

Everyone thought about it for a moment before Mana said "First we apparently need a navigator and I know where the best one lives."

"Can you get us there then?" Naruto asked.

Mana nodded and said "Only because we were going to go there after our business here was finished."

Naruto looked at the port nearby and said "It's finished so let's leave."

Naruto summoned a bunch of clones much to the shock of everyone and with Mana's help set sail in search of their new navigator.

Sorry it took so long. I will try to make the next chapter longer and sooner.
